I'm new to Umbraco, but not to ASP.NET development. I managed to get Umbraco running locally, and I use the backoffice together with Visual Studio. VS2010 lets me edit xslt, asp, ... faster and easier.
But I see that my VS solution, and thus my Umbraco website, has a lot of folders and files. In the root alone I have:
config
css
data
install
masterpages
media
python
scripts
umbraco
umbraco_client
usercontrols
xslt
I realize some of these are necessay. But if I would want to deploy my site to a server, do all files need to be transfered? For example, umbraco_client contains 23 folders, and umbraco 32!
Basically, yes, you'll need all the files on your live server that you have on your development environment, everything in your root folder, plus the database...you may need to update the database connection in web.config also.
As Amir says you probably want to deploy all of the files and folders that you have listed above. The two folders that you talked about (/umbraco_client and /umbraco), is very important as well, because this is where most of the backoffice files are stored (icons, thumbnails, language files, tinyMCE, plugins, JS files etc. etc. etc.). So even though it's a lot of files, you shall probably deploy all of them.
Btw. remember to mark an answer (probably Amir's ;) ) as the solution, when you feel the issue has been solved :)
